+AppArmor protects systems from insecure or untrusted processes by running them
+in restricted confinement, while still allowing processes to share files,
+exercise privilege and communicate with other processes. AppArmor is a
+Mandatory Access Control (MAC) mechanism which uses the Linux Security Module
+(LSM) framework.
+
+Note that in order to use AppArmor, you need to have CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR
+setting enabled in the kernel (which is not enabled by default in Slackware).
+So in order to use this, you need to reconfigure & recompile your kernel.
